Well here we are in LA, the mightiest team of all. Imagine the craziest scenario ever: if the Canucks win in regulation tonight we are in 3rd and LA is the wildcard team. Yup, it's true I think. The mighty, mighty Kings would be behind the lowly Vancouver Casucks. I am not sure how that is possible.

Season series: This is the fourth of five games between the Vancouver Canucks and Los Angeles Kings. The Kings are 3-0-0 against Vancouver this season and most recently earned a 3-1 victory Jan. 4 at Staples Center.

As is always the case, I will buy the jersey of any Canuck that ends Dustin Brown's season. In fact, if he misses the Olys I'll buy it. Then I will give it to a random person. And it's double down night, whatever that means. If someone ends Quick's Olys I will buy his jersey. I don't care if it's a legal hit, a slapshot, a stick, a knee, or a car accident in the parking lot. $200 donation to Canuck Place if Clifford needs help leaving the ice. And I will go to church for a year if Booth damages Richards eye for an eye style.

Anyone on either team that hits Darryl Sutter with a puck is ok with me too.

The Kings haven't had much reason to slow down when they crashed the Canucks zone & net - at least, not lately.

Remember the 2010 quarter finals against LA, when Johnson just missed the full impact of a major hit by Edler, inside our blue line. Coincidentally - LA players kept their heads up & slowed down when entering our zone after that.

It is great that we have clawed our way back this close to a top three spot. The only team I don't see us having a chance to catch is Anaheim, unless they go through a major slump. Our games with the SJS are done so we don't have the opportunity to play them in any more 4 pointers, that could make it hard to catch them but they are within reach if we can get on a run like we had in the month of December.

I'm tired of being owned by California teams. Time to break the back of the beast and get this one tonight.

No doubt, at least after this and the Ducks game, it's smooth sailing from here on out for a bit.
